The Dinner Trailer – Richard Gere, Steve Coogan, Laura Linney & Rebecca Hall reveal their secrets

March 1, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

At one point, The Dinner was going to be Cate Blanchett’s feature directorial debut, with Oren Moverman on scripting duties. However, she moved on and the adaptation of Herman Koch’s novel saw Moverman shift into the director’s chair. He’s an interesting choice, having written movies such as I’m Not There and directed The Messenger and Rampart.

In The Dinner, ‘Paul has no desire to go out to dinner with his brother Stan, a well-known politician, and his sister-in-law Barbara. But his wife Claire insists on him accompanying her. The couples meet at a hip restaurant but, in between each exquisite course, dark family secrets are brought out onto the table. The couples’ sons are responsible for a terrible crime — as yet undiscovered — and their parents must now decide how to deal with the situation. An argument soon ensues, since public disclosure would change the lives of each of them forever.’

Richard Gere, Steve Coogan, Laura Linney and Rebecca Hall play the movie’s main quartet. You can take a look at the trailer below. It’ll be in US cinemas in May. No UK date is currently set. [Read more…]

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel Trailer – Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy and co. are back

August 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

second-best-exotic-marigold-hotel-slideThe Best Exotic Marigold Hotel turned out to be a far bigger hit than anyone expected, grossing over $135 million around the world and ensuring a sequel was put into the works. Now the trailer for the film has arrived, which you can watch below.

Original cast members Judi Dench (Evelyn), Maggie Smith (Muriel), Bill Nighy (Douglas), Dev Patel (Sonny), Penelope Wilton (Jean), Celia Imrie (Madge), Ronald Pickup (Norman), Tina Desai (Sunaina), Diana Hardcastle (Carol) and Lillete Dubey (Mrs. Kapoor) are joined by the likes of Tamsin Greig, David Strathairn and Richard Gere for the follow-up.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL is the expansionist dream of Sonny (Dev Patel), and it’s making more claims on his time than he has available, considering his imminent marriage to the love of his life, Sunaina (Tina Desai). Sonny has his eye on a promising property now that his first venture, ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the Elderly and Beautiful’, has only a single remaining vacancy – posing a rooming predicament for fresh arrivals Guy (Richard Gere) and Lavinia (Tamsin Greig). Evelyn and Douglas (Judi Dench and Bill Nighy) have now joined the Jaipur workforce, and are wondering where their regular dates for Chilla pancakes will lead, while Norman and Carol (Ronald Pickup and Diana Hardcastle) are negotiating the tricky waters of an exclusive relationship, as Madge (Celia Imrie) juggles two eligible and very wealthy suitors. Perhaps the only one who may know the answers is newly installed co-manager of the hotel, Muriel (Maggie Smith), the keeper of everyone’s secrets. As the demands of a traditional Indian wedding threaten to engulf them all, an unexpected way forward presents itself.

‘Directed by John Madden from an original screenplay by Ol Parker THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL will open across the UK and Ireland on 27 February 2015, distributed by Twentieth Century Fox.’ [Read more…]

January 11, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Richard-GereWhile The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel mainly stuck with British and Indian actors, the sequel is getting an infusion of American men. Back in October it was revealed they were trying to land Richard Gere for the movie. Now he’s officially signed on and so has the always excellent David Strathairn, as well as a new Brit, Tamsin Grieg.

John Madden (Shakespeare in Love) has returned to helm, working from an original screenplay by Ol Parker. The movie follows, ‘the expansionist dream of Sonny (Dev Patel), and it’s making more claims on his time than he has available, considering his imminent marriage to the love of his life, Sunaina (Tena Desae). Sonny has his eye on a promising property now that his first venture, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the Elderly and Beautiful, has only a single remaining vacancy – posing a rooming predicament for fresh arrivals Guy (Richard Gere) and Lavinia (Tamsin Greig).

Perhaps the only one who may know the answers is newly installed co-manager of the hotel, Muriel (Maggie Smith), the keeper of everyone’s secrets. As the demands of a traditional Indian wedding threaten to engulf them all, an unexpected way forward presents itself.’

Filming is now underway in India.

Richard Gere Heads For The Indie Drama Franny

August 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Richard-GereRichard Gere has slowed down the pace of the number of films he makes, and it’s only now that he’s planning his first starring role since last year’s Arbitrage (let’s forget his cameo in Movie 43, which even he didn’t want to do), as ScreenDaily reports he’s signed up for the indie drama Fanny.

Gere will play ‘a fun-loving philanthropist who works his way into the lives of a newlywed couple to recapture the life he once had.’

Andrew Renzi’s will make his directing debut with the film, working from a script he wrote himself. The film will be looking for buyers at the Toronto International Film Festival, with shooting planned to commence in October.
